I'm not sure where you get this notion that Europeans are trapped in the 'glorious' past. Why would any of us wish to be reliving 1941 - rationing, the blitz, the threat of invasion - hardly a time to want to relive. And why on earth would the Germans be jealous of Japan??? Where do you get these ideas from??? Certainly Europeans are proud of their past - and why not (aren't you proud of your countries history?). If you think the Germans and English are self obsessed you should meet the French.....(much as i love them).

I have travelled extensively through Asia over the past 10 years so have seen it with my own eyes - i also follow the news closely and am well aware of currant affairs in that part of the world, so why do you make the assumption that my 'eyes are shut'?

The fact is Americans are just as concerned about immigration as us Europeans, certainly most of the Americans i have met both here and in the US. Have a look at Fabrizio's post, if you are interested that is.
